Do you make backups? Do you run ZFS? Do you use Bacula? Do you use dd?
Your method is important for you. What's also important is testing how a restore works.
I lost a partition less than 30 minutes ago. I have a simple tgz backup of the important data on another drive, not an SSD, no a HDD.
I lost zero bytes of data.
Please make sure your backup and restore systems work.
When your recovery tool says the partition is lost, only your backup will save you.
